Phase 2 Report: Survey
Do you work for a business with a presence in the UK? Do you have friends at management level or above who work for a business with a presence in the UK? Would you, or they, be willing to complete a short survey about their use of Open Source in their workplace?
This survey will only take 10-15 minutes and explores open source software uptake in businesses with a UK presence. This data will be used in Phase 2 of our State of Open Report, which will be published on 7th July with a summer party.
